Capitalize the first letter of first word only, and proper nouns (names of people, places, or things).

For example:

I (first letter of first word) bought a Tesla (the car has a name, so we must capitalize it) for Owen (person has a name, so we must capitalize).

(first letter of first word) Let’s visit Shenzhen Talent Park.

Shenzhen Talent Park is the name of a park in Shenzhen. We must capitalize.

Surely, It is late

Surely, it is late.

Remember to use an for words that start with a vowel:

If you need to use ‘many’, add ‘s’ behind the nouns.

Remember to describe. Answer why. Stretch situation out into small details, and use conjunctions to connect them.

He (subj) decides (verb) [to set] a trap for Red

to set is an infinitive that turns ‘to set’ into a noun.
“a trap for Red” is a object complement.

conjunction ‘and’

Since we use and, we can carry over the subject.

He decides to set a trap for Red and waits at her grandmother’s house.

He arrives

Try to use more adverbs to describe your verbs.

He meticulously arrives

He sees an old woman lying on the bed. Good!

He eats the “appetizer”.

Let’s describe more and try to connect it.

The wolf devours her in one gulp
use ‘and’ conjunction.

The wolf sees the old woman as an appetizer, and devours her in one gulp.

When Red arrives, she sees her “grandmother” lying on the bed.

Let’s try to be more descriptive. Don’t use quotes to have the audience guess what you are meaning.

It does not look like her grandmother at all!

It is the wolf actually.

Let’s not use actually. That word is used too much among Chinese students.

In fact, is it the wolf in disguise.

The wolf eats his “main course”

Jump, spring, hop, leap…各种各样的jump synonym 都可以用。

He leaps into the air.
